senator mccain. i think it's insane for republicans who complain for four years about harry reid not having a budget and now we're not going to agree to conferees. that is beyond comprehension for me. that sentiment was seconded by lots of other republican senators. in fact, i think my colleagues know, i've heard from a lot of our house republican colleagues quietly, saying they're frankly embarrassed at the fact that the house republicans have refused to appoint conferees and take the next step in the budget process. we got to get our economy moving in full gear, the congressional budget office has told us that as a result of the sequester we're going to have 700,000 fewer jobs in this country. by the end of this calendar year. that it's going to reduce our economic growth by 1/3. the budget conference is where we worked out our differences and try and remove the uncertainty in the economy. by not going to budget conference, let's be clear, what our republican colleagues are doing, they want to take

's clear that tamerlan tsarnaev, they had no record of him going to russia or coming back because his name was misspelled. by a place where we don't have regulations, a foreign airline.
